SPTrans has scheduled the 8086-31 Jaguaré–Pinheiros bus route to begin operating on September 26, 2026, on weekends, with service running from 5:30 a.m. to 9:55 p.m. The official notice already lists the starting point, turnaround point and full itinerary. For trip planning, the key detail is that the route is published as “one-way”: the bus follows one continuous loop between Jaguaré and Pinheiros rather than two independent outbound and inbound itineraries.
Route 8086-31: confirmed start date, stops and operating hours
| Item | Official information |
|---|---|
| Scheduled start | September 26, 2026 |
| Operating days | Weekends |
| Operating window | 5:30 a.m. to 9:55 p.m. |
| Starting point | Av. Alexandre Mackenzie, 69 |
| Turnaround point | Rua Gilberto Sabino, 135 |
| Itinerary format | One-way loop |
These details come from the official SPTrans notice for the new 8086-31 route. Because the launch is still in the future as of this update, the schedule should be treated as planned and checked again close to September 26.
How the route runs from Jaguaré to Pinheiros
The bus starts on Av. Alexandre Mackenzie and continues along roads including Av. Presidente Altino, Praça Henrique Drumond Villares, Av. Bolonha and Av. Jaguaré. It then passes Praça Luís Gonzaga, returns to Av. Jaguaré and continues via Av. Queiroz Filho, Praça Apecatu, Av. Prof. Fonseca Rodrigues and Av. Pedroso de Moraes.
As it approaches Pinheiros, the route enters Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima and follows Rua Chopin Tavares de Lima and Rua Sumidouro to the turnaround point at Rua Gilberto Sabino, 135.
How the route returns from Pinheiros to Jaguaré
After the turnaround point, the loop continues along Rua Capri, Rua Paes Leme, Largo dos Pinheiros and Rua Teodoro Sampaio. It then returns to Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, runs again along Av. Pedroso de Moraes and Av. Prof. Fonseca Rodrigues, reaches Praça Apecatu and Av. Queiroz Filho, and returns to Av. Jaguaré.
On the final section, the bus follows Av. Kenkiti Simomoto, Av. Bolonha, Praça Henrique Drumond Villares and Av. Presidente Altino before returning to Av. Alexandre Mackenzie. This explains why SPTrans describes the itinerary as “one-way”: it is a single loop, with different streets used on parts of the outbound and return legs.
What the “one-way” format means for passengers
In practice, passengers should not assume that the stop used to travel toward Pinheiros will have an equivalent stop directly across the street for the trip back to Jaguaré. Because the loop uses different roads on some sections, the return boarding point may be on another street or block.
Passengers planning to use the 8086-31 should therefore check the portion of the itinerary that matches their direction of travel and identify the most convenient stop before leaving. The published “turnaround point” marks where the loop changes direction in the Pinheiros area; it does not split the route into two separate services.
Hours: the operating window is published, but headways are not
SPTrans states that the route will operate on weekends from 5:30 a.m. to 9:55 p.m. This should be read as the published service window. The notice reviewed does not provide a list of individual departures or the interval between buses.
That means the notice does not support assumptions such as a bus every 10, 15 or 20 minutes. For detailed scheduling once it becomes available, SPTrans provides a route search tool with service programming, itinerary, map and timetable information.
When route 8086-31 starts weekend service
The announced start date is Saturday, September 26, 2026. The notice specifies weekend operation and does not announce regular weekday service. Passengers who need the route on launch weekend should check the official page again shortly beforehand, since operational adjustments may be published before service begins.
Main corridors served
- Jaguaré and surrounding area: Av. Alexandre Mackenzie, Av. Presidente Altino, Av. Bolonha and Av. Jaguaré.

This list highlights the most useful corridors for a quick overview; the complete official itinerary should be used when locating a specific bus stop.
How to plan a trip for launch weekend
- Confirm that the September 26, 2026 start date is still listed in the SPTrans notice.
- Use the route search tool to check the map, service programming and any detailed timetable that has been added.
- Locate the correct boarding stop for your part of the loop, especially because the outbound and return sections do not use all the same streets.
- Do not estimate waiting time from an assumed headway: the initial notice does not publish frequency.
- If your trip depends on the last bus, verify the schedule close to the date instead of automatically treating 9:55 p.m. as a specific departure time from every point on the route.
In short, the 8086-31 is scheduled to connect Jaguaré and Pinheiros on weekends beginning September 26, with service operating between 5:30 a.m. and 9:55 p.m. The route and its starting and turnaround points are already defined; the interval between buses is not yet shown in the published notice.
